Tablet stopped work in Dev builds
by microUgly
I just downloaded the Oct 24 Windows build and found that my tablet isn't
working properly with it.
I can move the cursor with tablet pen, but when I press on the tablet
nothing draws. I tried toggling the "Use pressure" button.
My tablet still works fine in 0.46 and was working in an earlier build I was
using last night (I don't think it was more than a week or two old). Let me
know if you require a bug logged for this.

LPE dropdown box (was : NEW: LPE Interpolate)
by Steren
>> The LPE choose dropdown box is getting really huge now. Who wants to
>> make mockups of what is a better system for applying effects?
>
> What about just a hierarchical menu with submenus, similar to the Effects menu?
I think this is an issue that needs more to be discussed before coding
anything (search for filters ?)
Here is a first draft for LPE submenus, please comment and modify :
=Artistic= // Everything that changes the path style (on a visual
point of view)
Freehand Shape
Interpolate Sub-Paths
Pattern Along Path
Sketch
Stitch Sub-Paths
=Create= // create a very different path
Gears
Spiro spline
? VonKoch
=Path Tweak= //small modifications
Knot
=Distort= // change the path shape
Bend
Envelope Deformation
Lattice Deformation
Perspective path
=Technical= // tools for tech and serious drawings
Angle bisector
Boolops
Circle (center+radius)
Circle through 3 points
Construct grid
Mirror symmetry
Offset

Perpendicular bisector
Ruler

using inkscape -> plotters in windows...
by stuart
Hi...
First, how do you people do this? Window drivers are a nightmare! For
instance, where do they start and where do applications end? People are
talking about HPGL, SVG ... I just when round and round w/the Graphtec
drivers for their C200-20 and C100-20 plotters. I am convinced they not
only control the plotters but also translate depending on the
application. That is, I have been told, that printing from Word using
the graphics found in the Word's WordArt feature can actually cut on a
Graphtec Craftrobo. How would this be possible unless the driver were
also translating the output of the Word application.
Guess I'm really asking, in windows, using inkscape, is the accepted
"go-between" format between application and drivers PostScript? So, if
anyone dares to write a windows driver, they can at least count on that
much?
Also, I understand that the "pipe the output feature" of inkscape was
recently broken (during a revamping). Is that true? Has it been fixed?
...thanks

NEW: Converting text to path produces a group
by bulia byak
Converting a text or flowed text to path (Ctrl+Shift+C) now produces a
group of paths, one path for each glyph of text, instead of a single
monolithic path as before. Apart from easier manipulation, an
additional advantage is that if your text contained styled spans (i.e.
fragments with different color, opacity, or other properties), these
styles will be preserved by the corresponding glyph paths after
converting to paths.

Smooth transitions in Bézier paths
by Diederik van Lierop
Hi,
I hope you don't mind if I increase the traffic on inkscape-devel even
more ;-)
At some point an idea popped up to only snap to nodes at discontinuities
in paths, and not to nodes at smooth transitions from one Bézier segment
to another. This is more intuitive (less "Hey, what it is Inkscape
snapping to now?") and might increase performance.
Problem is that in the object-snapper I only have access to SPCurve,
which is a wrapper for "old-style" NArtBpath. It's easy to find out
whether a point is inbetween two Bézier segments, but how do I find out
if a transition is smooth? I guess that should be done by comparing the
control points, or is there an easier way? With the transition to
lib2geom, will the NArtBpath be deprecated in favor of the Path class?
(that would make this rather exercise useless in the long run).
Any pointers would be appreciated here,
Diederik

Launchpad and "Fix Committed"
by Krzysztof Kosiński
The current practice is to mark bugs "fix released" in Launchpad when
committing to SVN. The rationale for this (given by bulia in another thread)
is that this way the "open bugs" count is more useful for the developers.
I think this is an abuse of Launchpad bug tracking. IMO the rationale isn't
sufficient. It creates confusion for users which re-report bugs that have
been fixed in SVN, because "fix released" bugs do not show up in search
results. There must be a better way of tracking how many bugs have been
fixed. Currently I know about advanced search (just search for all bugs with
statuses New, Triaged, Confirmed, Incomplete, In Progress) and milestones
which can isolate the most important bugs.
Another option is to talk to the Launchpad team to include an "Unfixed"
count on the bugs page which would exclude "fix committed" bugs. This will
be better than abusing the system and confusing the users in the name of
seeing some number.
Regards, Krzysztof Kosiński

Rendering test results on-line
by Jasper van de Gronde
If you go to:
http://home.hccnet.nl/th.v.d.gronde/inkscape/ResultViewer.html
you will now see an up-to-date list of test results for Inkscape's
rendering tests. It now contains one column, each time I run the tests a
column will be added (to the left). It's still pretty bare-bones, but I
hope I (or someone else) will find some time to improve it in the near
future.
I plan to run the tests regularly for at least the next two months or
so. I have to run the tests more or less manually though (I created a
batch file to automate most steps, but I still have to run the batch
file manually, on my notebook...), so I'm interested in any suggestions
people might have for hosting (more) fully automated tests.
You don't see any test for your favorite rendering bug? No problem, if
the bug is already in the bug tracker with the required test files (read
on), just mail me and I'll add it. If not, create an SVG demonstrating
the problem (small and simple please) and one or more of the following:
- A PNG of the wrong output.
- A PNG of the right output (preferably exact).
- An SVG that should look exactly the same, but is rendered correctly
by Inkscape.
Then attach the files to the corresponding bug in the bug tracker (or
create a new bug and attach the files if it isn't the tracker yet) and
mail me (or anyone else who has SVN access).
Of course, if you have SVN access you can add tests yourself.
The bugtracker:
http://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape
For more information about Inkscape's (rendering) tests:
http://www.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/TestingInkscape
The test suite in SVN:
https://inkscape.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/inkscape/gsoc-testsuite
The directory 'tester' contains the actual rendering tests, the
directory ResultViewer contains my clumsy attempt at a GWT project.

by john cliff
Just wondering if theres anyone out there who can confirm if the changes to

2geom SVN warning
by Krzysztof Kosiński
There is a file called "!PLEASE DON'T MAKE CHANGES IN THESE FILES.README" in
the 2geom directory. It says that 2geom code should be changed in 2geom SVN
instead of in the Inkscape SVN, because changes will be destroyed otherwise.
Is this warning still intact?
Regards, Krzysztof Kosiński
